While Canon Europe hasn't mounted a single significant DSLR related rebate program in Europe in ages you lucky folks in the USA are treated like valued customers. Too many rebates to list individually so check out the Canon USA promotions page for details.

It's certainly rather irritating to be constantly in the position of spreading the good news for other countries, especially as prices here in Europe are hardly bargain basement even after allowing for tax and import duties. Still, I have a better option than complaining direct to Canon - I just won't be buying any more glass from them until they at least give me the illusion of making a saving!

I really happy to hear that you finally shamed Canon Europe enough. For them to offer a promotion,:D but unlucky just just give to new buyer. I wonder why they love new customer then the old one they already have, weird huh.
